英语作文科学家简介（指导员翻译文章）

2.能和我们谈谈你使用的系统吗？

我的系统多年来一直在进化中，但基本上使用一个叫做Things的APP ( iOS 和 Mac )来管理项目和下一步行动，我有一个档案柜处理物理，纸质的文件 — —最上面的抽屉是 43 文件夹，底部是 以A-Z排序的其他参考文件（每个文件夹上贴着打印出的标签！)

3.通过在生活中运用GTD 你学到最宝贵的东西是什么？

最重要的教训就是区别对待下一步行动和项目 — — 在 用GTD 之前我只有一个巨大的，模糊的待办事项列表。学会问"下一步行动是什么？"，单单这一招就帮助推进和实现了我制定过的一些巨大目标。

4.如果我们来看看您的项目列表，什么是你最喜欢的项目？

我最喜欢的项目也是那个最雄心勃勃 （吓到我）的项目。关于它我不能说太多，但它涉及到收购一家公司！

5.在业余时间你会做什么 （现在你当然有很多业余时间！）？

业余时间的概念对我来说一直是一个挑战，在过去十年左右，我很难找出哪一天没有做和"工作"相关的事。说到这里，我也很幸运能够依靠做喜欢的事情来谋生，所以工作和娱乐之间的界限完全模糊了。我是一个对耐力运动上瘾的人 （主要是跑步和骑自行车），最近已经在涉猎Crossfit，所以保持身材和健康一直是我生活的重要部分。我读书的时间并不够多，但我喜欢一本好书，在我遛狗（莫莉）的时候也是乐趣无穷。我现在经常旅行，令我吃惊的是我仍然享受和喜欢步行探索新的城市（用走路或跑步的配速 ！）

6.GTD如何改变了你与其他人一起工作的方式？

学习委派是关键，最近几年我做的事情很多，GTD 帮我把委派工作描述得有效和清晰，通常会涉及某个下一步行动 （下一步行动通常由一个物理动词开头开始）。

7.你是否在团队/组织中使用GTD，如果是的，多人使用这一方式的好处有哪些？

还没有，但是我很想这么做 (团队今年夏天会扩大，我想全公司运用至少一部分 GTD 的原则会有很大帮助)。

8.对于有效地进行每周回顾你有什么窍门吗？

持续地进行每周回顾我觉得是最具挑战性的。很大程度上是因为我过去两年的大部分时间都在旅行中。我试着在星期五下午进行回顾，但上周五我从阿沃里阿兹赶到日内瓦演讲，下周五将从得克萨斯州的奥斯汀飞回家 ！对我最有帮助的是打印出一张每周回顾的清单用来遵循 (收集零散文件和材料，清空收件夹，等等。......)

9.在你的将来也许清单上，什么是最酷的东西？

我认为最酷也是最雄心勃勃是有一天建造一幢房子。我是建筑师托德 · 桑德斯的忠实粉丝，所以希望他能帮我设计！

以下是原文

Ben Saunders is one of the world’s leading polar explorers and a record-breaking long-distance skier who has covered more than 6 000km (3 700 miles) on foot in the Polar Regions since 2001.

Ben is the third person in history to ski solo to the North Pole and holds the record for the longest solo Arctic journey by a Briton. He is also the founding editor and publisher of Avaunt Magazine and an acclaimed keynote speaker described by TED (where he has spoken three times) as ‘a master storyteller‘. Ben has been practising GTD for a number of years and finds it instrumental to getting the best out of his life.

1. When did you first come across GTD and what inspired you to start using it?

I think I first read the book in 2004 and went to a London event later that year. I’ve always been interested in performance and efficiency – in getting the best results from my time and my effort as an athlete as a leader (of expeditions) and now as an entrepreneur and from the outset I loved that GTD was an actionable system rather than (another) collection of glib but useless tips.

2. Can you tell us a bit about the system you use?

It’s been hacked around over the years but basically I use an app called Things on iOS and on my Mac laptop to handle projects and next actions and I have a filing cabinet to deal with physical paper documents – the top drawer is a 43-folder tickler and the bottom is an A-Z file for everything else (with printed labels on each of the card folders naturally!)

3. What has been the most valuable thing you have learned from having GTD in your life?

The biggest lesson has been the importance of dividing things between next actions and projects – before GTD I just had massive blurry to-do lists. This trick alone – learning to ask “What’s the next action?” has enabled me to take on and achieve some of the biggest goals I’ve ever set myself.

4. If we were to look at your projects list what would you say is your favourite project?

My favourite project is also perhaps the most ambitious (and intimidating to me). I can’t say too much about it but it involves buying a business!

5. What do you do in your spare time (now you have plenty of it of course!)?

The concept of spare time has always been a challenging one for me as I can’t think of a single day in the last decade or so where I haven’t done something that might constitute “work”. With that said I’m also lucky enough to be making a living from doing things I love so the line between work and play is completely blurred. I’m a recovering endurance sport addict (mainly running and road biking) and I’ve been dabbling in CrossFit lately so keeping fit and healthy has always been a big part of my life. I don’t read as much as I’d like but I love a good book and I get an inordinate amount of pleasure from walking my dog Molly. I travel a lot at the moment which to my surprise I still enjoy and I love exploring new cities on foot (at walking pace or running pace!)

6. How has GTD changed the way you work with other people?

Learning to delegate has been critical in doing as much as I’ve wanted to do in recent years and GTD has helped me to frame delegation in the most effective and clear way usually involving a next action (and that in turn usually starts with a physical verb).

7. Do you use GTD on your team/organisation and if so what are the benefits you’ve seen that come when there are multiple people using the approach?

Not yet but I’d like to (the team is expanding this summer and I think a company-wide adoption of at least some of GTD’s principles would help enormously).

8. Do you have any tips on how to most effectively conduct your Weekly Review?

Conducting a consistent weekly review is one of the things I find most challenging largely because I’ve spent so much of the past two years on the road. I try to do it on Friday afternoons but last Friday I was being driven from Avoriaz to Geneva between speaking engagements and next Friday I’m going to be flying home from Austin Texas! The thing that helps me most is having a printed checklist to follow (“Collect Loose Papers and Materials Get “IN” to Zero etc…)

9. What’s the coolest thing on your Someday/Maybe list?

I think simultaneously the coolest and most ambitious is building a house one day. I’m a big fan of the architect Todd Saunders (no relation!) so I’d like him to design it…
